I chose to look at the sites for Fox 5 Atlanta and WSB-TV. On Fox 5 Atlanta, I found it difficult to find a story that I knew had been repurposed from TV to online platforms. I attribute this so my lack of cable and resulting lack of familiarity with the basic troupes of a TV news broadcast, but perhaps it is because they did such a good job seamlessly repurposing the stories. Or, perhaps, there was little integration between video broadcast stories and their online affiliates. On WSB-TV, most links to stories on the home page were links to videos with text underneath. This made it easier to know that these were stories taken from their TV broadcast and repurposed into online versions. On Fox 5 Atlanta, I found videos of the TV broadcasted stories, but they were more sparse. I found the online stories on Fox 5 Atlanta to be concise and informative, and I definitely noticed the inverted pyramid being used throughout. The fact that some of their stories were from their TV broadcast and some were clearly just print or online made them seem like a more diverse and varied news station, though the easy and clear access to video made WSB-TV seem more user-friendly. Whereas I had to spend a sizable amount of time searching for video on Fox 5’s site, I had to spend almost the same amount of time searching for just text on WSB-TV’s.

On both sites, stories that accompanied videos had the text underneath the video. Most stories that did not feature a video, on both sites, had a photo at the top in lieu of a video clip.

On the home page of WSB-TV, the stories seem to be presented in categories of popularity and timeliness – “Happening Now,” “Trending on WSBTV.com,” “Channel 2 Action News Headlines.” The menu at the top of the page is then organized into categories (like desks). Fox 5 Atlanta’s website is very similar.
